I’m a grad student in Asia.
If I were you I would think globally and do your degree in Asia (makes sense) or at a world renowned centre – most of these are in Europe. Cambridge and Oxford Universities in England both have excellent oriental studies departments, and it probably won’t cost you as much to study there as some schools in the US.
Why don’t you come to Asia and do it – cheaper, and globally recognised in many cases. Try India, Singapore or Malaysia. You study in English, and its cheaper than the US – in the case of India especially – and you’ll be in Asia. in East Asia you can also study Chinese language.
Good universities
University of Bombay
University of Calcutta
National University of Singapore
There is also the world renowned School of Oriental and African Studies in London: http://www.soas.ac.uk.

As the other poster said, SOAS in London is one of the tops, but it’s not in the US. The US really doesn’t have any schools that specialise in Asian studies like they do. However, they do have universities that offer Asian Studies as an undergraduate degree, and have extremely strong programs in the field. I’ll give a few examples of schools at a variety of levels and types, to get you started:
- Smith College
- UMass Amherst
- U Michigan Ann Arbor
- Pomona College
- Vassar
- Emory
- Yale
- Temple
- SUNY Albany
- Hamilton
- Bryn Mawr
- Holy Cross
You could use the college search tool at the Princeton Review website to pull up a complete list.
On the West Coast, you have UCLA, Berkeley, UC San Diego, UC Irvine.. Pretty much the UCs, and some of the Cal States in the bigger cities.
Private Schools like Stanford USC…
why dont you try university of the pacific? its in CA
